give me those fighter jet MFD with the smart buttons on the sides

even the fighter jets have touch-screens now. :(



That said fighter jets are pretty good about letting you do whatever you need to do without taking your hands off the stick or throttle. Plus they have actual working autopilot.

i worked in child support services and there was a guy with $40k of child support back due. he thought we couldn't get to his bank account too. we zapped all $40k out of his account while he was on the phone mocking us. never owned someone harder.

that must have felt so amazing

One of the rare Ws in the business. we all crowded around the phone while it was happening, and then again to deliver the good news to the mom. she was in tears she was so happy. THATs what really feels good, telling someone "hey no big deal but we got the $40k your deadbeat ex-husband refused to pay, it'll be in your account tomorrow. Yes, really!" :)

it's like that scene in The Rock where they steal all the VX gas, but one of the canisters breaks so they have to close the airlock with a guy stuck inside and watch through the window as the VX gas kills him.

except this time it's a tesla and burning to death instead of VX gas.

the tweet said that they sold the patents in 1923, not that it was discovered in 1923. what a dumbshit

i’m praying that he tries to figure out what constitutes parody again tonight. he was hung up on it last night and the night before and i think is personally obsessed with it because this kind of free speech absolutism is the whole reason he spent 44b on the site. while this is going on his employees openly go against him and the site crumbles.

i love how at every level musk is a bad manager. Indecisive, unfocused, overreactive, neurotic... the only thing he's good at is threatening people.

a funny undercurrent is his rehire strategy where he sends out an offer to someone he fired once already and then gives them 10 minutes to respond. he tried to rehire Parag Agrawal and gave him 6 minutes. shocking it didn't work.

it was even worse than this. his response to getting fired (over the phone) was "okay" and he hung up. so she called back to make it clear that she fired him to which he said "okay" and hung up

i've never had a twitter account and i'm not about to start now, but i imagine since they have a couple thousand followers they get amplified in the replies and thus more visibility

that said i definitely think there's some conscious selection going on when he replies to the crazy libsoftiktok lady, no way he doesn't know who she is and what the account is about. some of the lesser-known ones i had no idea about (and honestly don't care really) but cspam in particular is real quick to point out that they're ultrachuds

oh he knows who she is alright

There's still a smattering of bootlickers in the comments though. There's even a "realtesla" subreddit whose goal is to actively discuss tesla without impeding speech with having elons balls in the mouth of every poster.

https://www.reddit.com/r/teslainvestorsclub/

I like the opposite of realtesla, teslainvestorsclub, where NO bad news is allowed and you cannot criticize elon. Scroll through the sub and you wouldn't even know musk is running twitter right now.
